Commander, Adjutant.
We have several weather pro-
phets in Webster. A number pre-
dicted Saturday night that we would
get no trains for two days, and the
prophecy came to pass literally.

"get there" by a new system known
as "psudo-intuition". We give
due and timely notice that it is not
the intention to allow any other
prophets to get away with ours.
The man or woman who has
nothing to do is most miserable. 1t
is hard to be overworked, but to
have no employment is supreme
wretchedness. Do something work
will relieve sorrow and trouble, be
the wages little or much, work, for
it is only by persistent labor that
you can expect to accomplish any,
thing for yourself, can elevate your
self in society and in the estimation
of men whose opinion is worth any
thing.
An exchange says that bats in
troduce bedbugs into dwellings and
hotels. We were never in hotel
when the bats did anything of the
kind. all the bed bugs we ever
met seemed to have that air of
frisky breeziness that indicated per-
feet acquaintance and familiarity
with the surroundings, so mach so
that for bat or any one else to in
troduce them would have been
deemed a superfous exercise of
courtesy on the part Of the recipient
of his bugship's society.
Last Saturday night the tele-
graph operator at the depot heard
some one calling and going to the
door responded, when in a few mo-
ments two men came in, one with
his hands frozen. They were not
more than fifty feet from the depot
yet SO furious was the wind and
driving snow, that they could not
see the building and had been wan.
dering around in the bottom south
of the track for an hour. People
should be very careful and keep In
doors during the prevalence Of these
high winds.

The boy who spends an hour
each evening lounglng idly on the
Btreet corners wastes; in the course
of year, three hundred and sixty
five precious hours, which, if appli-
ed to study, would familiarize him
with the rudiments of almost any of
the familiar sciences. If, in addi-
ton to his spending an hour each
evening he spends ten cents for
cigar, which is usually the case, the
amount thus worse than wasted
would pay for ten of the leading
periodicals of the country. Boys,
think Of these things.
Judge Church recently had a
rousjng big day. The Senate con-
firmed him Governor of Dakota,
County Clerks present him hand
some ivory gavel and congratula-
tions roll in from every quarter. In
the essning Mrs. Church comes
smilingly to the front and knocks
'em Ill ont by presenting the Judge
with daughter, regulation weight.
Is never rains but it pours. The
REpoRTER adds its congratulations
and trusts the little stranger may
prove rich benediction when the
csentide shall come at the glorious
sunset Of years.
